    Sri Lankan cricket should be run by both Jayasuriya and Arujuna Ranatunga, we can’t be pressurised by Indians to isolate our hero Arujuna. We need politicians who can standup to Indian bullies.

    SL cricket is going in circles. From one crook to another. Greed killed SL cricket.

    THE ONLY THING SANATH WILL BRING TO SLC IS HIS RIDICULOUS BOLLYWOOD DANCE.

    DJ Thursday, 14 December 2023 09:02 PM

    Absolutely correct.

    Another consultant at an exorbitant price. For every thing there will be consultants. Why have a an Head Coach

    Ram Thursday, 14 December 2023 01:55 PM

    Consultant will only get involved when consulted. He cannot on his own oversee all teams attending SLC High performance centre. His title must be changed suitably to suit his duties

    Tonga Thursday, 14 December 2023 02:10 PM

    He cannot do much with SLC under the current administration. He is outdated as well!!!

    Banda Thursday, 14 December 2023 02:19 PM

    Good adviser on womanising! This is the problem with SL.. minister's friend gets the deal!! 5mn worth

    Jayantha Thursday, 14 December 2023 02:24 PM

    Slc money wasted again by appointing a useless person again. As head of selection comitee he was a massive failure. Even jokers like ministers sons got in to national lineup. Probably icc as a sponsor for corruption prefers slc who spends money in useless cases. It is high time as cricket loving people not to watch cricket anymore.

    Mahela superfluous Thursday, 14 December 2023 02:30 PM

    Mahela should be sacked forthwith because he wants the cake

    Lakmal Kahawela Thursday, 14 December 2023 03:26 PM

    Does other international teams has consultants posts apart from coaching staff.

    Nihal wettasinghe Thursday, 14 December 2023 03:27 PM

    Mr "godak juice giya" is certainly qualified for the post

    Dube Thursday, 14 December 2023 04:00 PM

    Gonsultant!! No 2 welcome sar

    Wiraj Thursday, 14 December 2023 04:49 PM

    Will at-least now Mahela resign from his post, if he has some shame and accept the responsibility for the WC debacle?

    Buddhist Thursday, 14 December 2023 05:45 PM

    How can a person who was found to have fixed matches be appointed as the Consultant of SLC? This clearly shows Harin likes CROOKS!

    Mad Hatter Thursday, 14 December 2023 05:55 PM

    Hope he is a better consultant than politician. This is like launching another Titanic.

    Mk Thursday, 14 December 2023 05:56 PM

    Keep your respect as well as your family members resign. Your have enough money. Enjoy. Enjoy don’t spoil your name. Chear.

    Anthony. R Thursday, 14 December 2023 06:04 PM

    It's obviously evident the corrupt SLC is for crooks. This political Stooges are money greedy,nothing good will happen to SriLanka Cricket but the Stooges will be prosperous and it will be the end result. The past as Chairman of Selectors speaks volumes. Nothing good happened

    DJ Thursday, 14 December 2023 06:53 PM

    What a joke

    Samsoma Thursday, 14 December 2023 07:19 PM

    Oh..another consultant good at Match fixing and Womanising! ...Srilnka will never ever prosper in anything...

    Jude Thursday, 14 December 2023 08:46 PM

    Waste of money!! No disrespect for the cricketing ledgend !!

    Karalasingam Sivalingam Thursday, 14 December 2023 09:28 PM

    We pay 30,000 for head coach and 20,000 for each consultant which is equal to 40,000 why don't we instead of hiring consultants if we have so much money and instead spend it on a better coach like Justin langer(Australia) or mark boucher(South Africa) none of this Sri Lankan coach bullshit we know how bad our coaches are

    Sambo Friday, 15 December 2023 07:49 AM

    How many thousands of dollars is he going to receive per month. He is also addicted to money.

    In any of these appointments there is no accountability or responsibility. See Mahela, he had his best collecting USD 20,000 per month and leaving cricket in the doldrums and silently vanish from the scene.

    An interim committee was appointed by ROSHAN R after large scale fraud was reported by the Auditor General. Consequent to that a Case is pending. Can a new Minister annul the previous gazette and issue a new one and proceed to do changes with the alleged corrupt office bearers till a judicial order is made. A lawyer may be able to put us wise..
